Global Give-A-Book is excited to announce the 2nd GGAB x Barnes & Noble Essay Scholarship Contest. Following last year’s success in Albuquerque, we are partnering with Young Women's STEAM Research & Preparatory Academy in El Paso to inspire young writers.


This scholarship encourages creativity, critical thinking, and a love for literacy. We will be sharing our winning submission here on www.ggab.org and all social media outlets. Stay in the know with GGAB at @globalgiveabook on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!


Scholarship Overview

 

This scholarship will award a $200 Barnes & Noble gift card to one exceptional student in grades 9-12 who demonstrates a passion for reading and pre-literacy.


Applicants will submit a 500-1000 word essay on "The Importance of Pre-Literacy in the Age of Electronics," discussing the role of printed books in fostering children's imagination over electronic devices and the importance of GGAB's mission.
